I finally found an appropriately dramatic, hand-sized item--this shoe-shaped ornament--yesterday, at the Metropolitan Museum's Schiaparelli x Prada exhibition preview. I originally bought it for my mom for Mother's Day, but I might have to go back and get one for myself. (I mean, A MINIATURE PRADA SHOE?!?!!? It's like a s'more of style--the perfect combination of three wholly wonderful things.)

I already shopped 'til I dropped, and here's what I snagged:USLU CMB Nail Polish ($15.48 on fab.com, about 30% off the normal price) I love this unexpected primary color on my fingertips. (As you can see, it's much brighter than my Instagram would lead you to believe.) My graphic designer of a husband gets a kick out of the hue too.

Compagnie de Provence Mediterranean Soap Set ($9.50 on fab.com, about 40% off the normal price) We recently moved into a new apartment--and it's still a complete disaster zone, with boxes everywhere. I'm hoping these pretty soaps will help my upcoming house guests overlook the fact that they're sleeping on mismatched sheets, that there's an unfinished wall in the kitchen, etc.

NEST Fragrances Periwinkle Votive Candle ($9 on fab.com, about 50% off normal prices) A few friends recently moved into my new neighborhood too; I snagged a few of these sweet-smelling candles to give as house-warming presents.

Josie Maran Cosmetics Lipstain Set ($31.50 on fab.com, about 30% off normal prices) It seems like everyone I know was born in June. This year, all the Gemini ladies in my life will be getting one of these awesome lipstain markers as a gift (along with a birthday drink of their choosing).

Okey-doke ladies. Thus concludes the shopping PSA of the day. But while we're on the topic of shopping it up, tell me: What beauty products do you like to buy online? What products will you only buy in stores? (For me, it's perfume!) And what online beauty stores do you like these days?
